Is it a 2.2 ROM? If so, I do not believe Wireless Tether will work any longer (at least without just being ad-hoc). You do have options if you still want tethering for free. I don't have a direct link but you should be able to find something by searching. It has to do with modifying a value in the phones ##778 configuration settings.

If it's a 2.1 ROM, the suggestion above should work.

Make sure you have the android.tether fold on the root of your sd card. I am running skyraider 2.5.2 and wireless tether is working for me.

This isn't needed for the newer Pre versions however.

I've practically given up on this WiFi Tether.. it's worked for me once before, now I can't seem to get it working.

I'm running SR3.0 RC3, King #1 and S-OFF.

I've used both 3G Hot Spot on the SR 3.0 RC2 & 3, and the one from the app market... I modified the ##778 settings and still nothing... I don't see the folder mentioned above and not sure where to obtain it to try that out in my troubleshooting, but any help would be appreciated.

DONATE TO ME
I'm pretty sure it's because the tethering comes standard with 2.2 and all its data usage will be connected to a plan now... I tried to use it last night to connect an iPod touch and the iPod was redirected to a page about billing information.

The ##778 method works on stock 2.2 DIncs too. I just upgraded last night, did the wifi hotspot hack and it works like a charm.

I've noticed since upgrading to SkyRaider 2.5.2, the Wireless Tether app has changed to ad-hoc and doesn't seem to work quite as well.

I've seen some suggestions to updating to "pre 8" and using codes such as this:

hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible

How do you get the pre 8 version, and what do you do with the code above? I'd love to get the tether app back up to speed.
